I have noticed a trend of a lot of dancers with same or similar names or the same initials. For example on a recent trip I heard all the following names at one club.
First club had a preponderances of J's. Jayda, Jayla, Jennifer, Jenni, Jewel, Julia, Jessica, Jessi and Jasmine.
Not memorable at all. I couldn't give you a description of one of them.
Second club a bunch of Al's Alara, Alanna, Allie, Alyra, Alexis, Alexandra, Alex.
Not to mention Amy and Arya (Game of Thrones fan I guess).
Years ago clubs were careful to make sure dancer names were unique. To this day at one of my favorite clubs one of the best groups of dancers were named.
Karen, Nevaeh, Diamond, Mercedes, Alexis, Lana, Brenda, Sterling, Bryce, Jessie, Monique, Diana and Stephanie.


That’s very interesting. I wouldn’t expect that - but it doesn’t surprise me either.
I tend to forget dancer names quickly. If a dancer introduces herself to me - it usually goes in one ear and out the other.
I’ve been visiting a club with Latina and Eastern European dancers (and a few Americans) - it’s interesting to hear the different pronunciations of the names.
